Angry over the most recent announcement by the Bureau of Land Management to only gather 200 wild horses off the range in 2014, Iron County Commissioners issued a statement Tuesday calling it a "slap in the face."

"The 200 wild horses being offered up by the BLM is a joke, seen by the county commissioners as a way the Washington D.C. officials hope to appease local government, wildlife and sportsmen advocates," the statement read.
